Instagram real life with filtering hipster shades

Want to feel like you're a character in a movie? Well there's no
need to head to Hollywood to do so, for Tens sunglasses promises to
simulate the Tinseltown effect for you.

"What if there was a way we could filter everything we see while
being disconnected from technology?" asks one of Tens' creators,
Marty in an Indiegogo promotional video. Wired.co.uk had always
just presumed that the answer to that was to either follow the
government's internet safety guidelines for children, or otherwise
to just don regular, everyday sunglasses. But apparently not.

Most sunglasses, explains the promotional video, tend to sport
cold, desaturated lens tints, which do not possess the power to
imbue the requisite nostalgia-tinted hipster happiness vibes of
gone-but-not-forgotten summers. Tens, on the other hand, works with
the warmth of the Sun to cast such an Instagram-esque hue over your
upcoming road trip or Glastonbury jolly. You'll be glad to know
that they also work as normal sunglasses too.

Tens are currently on pre-order on Indiegogo now for £36 and are
flying off the virtual shelf. So far they are available in a
"classic unisex style" (read Wayfarer rip-off) and once the project
is funded, the Tens team hopes to expand the range of frames on
offer for both men and women as soon as possible.

Tens has now far exceeded its £9,400 Indiegogo target, raking in
a whopping £58,145 with 29 days still to go, so expect to see these
Instagram-inspired specs on sale in your local Urban Outfitters
soon.
